equipment. No survey services are anticipated for this project. The design team will perform a
site investigation to evaluate the existing conditions; specifically the power source and
emergency power source, availability of space, and status of conduits, etc.
It is expected that the 2800 gpm pump and piping appurtenances will mirror those of the
adjacent 2800 gpm high service pump installed with recent pump station .upgrades, with the
exception of pump motor and monitoring contacts.
• The piping will include a 3"air release valve, a 16" CLA VAL pump control valve
• The pump will supply 2800 gmp at 295 feet of pump head
• The synchronous motor will be 300 hp, with 03, 60, and 460 (phase, frequency, volt)
• The 300hp motor will have a Soft Start Starter, and
• SCADA System provisions for new pump and control valve statuses and control
It is expected that the 220(1 gpm pump and piping appurtenances will mirror those of the
adjacent 2200 gpm high service pump installed with recent elevated tank installation.
• The pump will supply 2200 gmp at 145 feet of pump head
• The synchronous motor will be 150 hp, with 03, 60, and 460 (phase, frequency, volt)
